Should I Apply for Social Security and Other Benefits?
Should I Apply for Social Security and Other Benefits?
When a worker suffers an injury at work, particularly a more severe one, there are sometimes benefits in addition to worker’s compensation that can ease financial pressures. Group disability and unemployment benefits interact with worker’s compensation, with workers’ compensation usually taking the lead. But Social Security and Medicare have the most complex relationship with workers’ compensation, which leads to sometimes difficult decisions about coordination of those benefits. Before you apply for those other benefits, you should discuss your decision with a qualified workers’ compensation lawyer. Those decisions can determine whether settlement will even be possible in a case and should be made very carefully, with a full understanding of the consequences. Once made, they often cannot be unmade.
